–>Trama del film:

Biopic of Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who overcame the limitations imposed on her by her condition to become a Ph.D. and expert in the field of animal husbandry. She developed an interest in cattle early in life while spending time at her Aunt and Uncle's ranch. She did not speak until age four and had difficulty right through high school, mostly in dealing with people. Her mother was very supportive as were some of her teachers. She is noted for creating her 'hug box', widely recognized today as a way of relieving stress in autistic children, and her humane design for the treatment of cattle in processing plants, which have been the subject of several books and won an award from PETA. Today, she is a professor at Colorado State University and well-known speaker on autism and animal handling. Written by garykmcd

If this were not a TV movie I would expect it to be listed as an Oscar
nominee. The movie is captivating not only for the exceptional acting
but providing us with a glimpse into the world of autism. Everything
about this movie points to excellence: the writing, the direction, the
cinematography and the acting of a superb cast featuring Claire Danes
in what must be the role of a lifetime.

The movie is moving in its emotional impact without becoming maudlin.
The pace of the movie is quick and takes us through a number of years
in the fascinating life of Temple Grandin without losing us or boring
us.

Temple Grandin describes herself in the movie as "different not less."
I would describe the movie as "different and great."

The cast and the crew may well be in line for Emmys and Golden Globes.
If so, let no one say it was because of sympathy for the subject
matter. It deserves any awards it wins for the excellence of the
production values.
